The Institute describes I-There consciousness as Bob Monroe's term for an energetic composite of all your personalities and experiences from other lifetimes, and says it is readily available in Focus 27. Participants may, it says, take away insights for their consciousness journey, past, present and future, retrieve historical data, examine artifacts, develop ideas for new creations and connect with nonphysical intelligences. It adds that graduates return with experiences they can anchor in daily life. Focus 34 and 35: the Gathering The Institute says Focus 27 can serve as a springboard for visiting Focus 34 and 35. At the 2000 professional seminar, an Institute speaker introducing Skip Atwater said he speaks to the Beyond Exploration 27 group just when they are exploring those levels, the area Monroe described as the Gathering, and that Atwater concludes there is no separation and that love is the force binding it all. Susan Taylor, an art teacher and Institute outreach trainer, wrote that she went to Exploration 27 anticipating the great adventure of experiencing the Gathering in Focus 35.

Atwater says the Healing/Regeneration Center is a Focus 27 experience tied to the Park or reception center concept from Lifeline. In a two-year qualitative study he asked 87 experienced participants in the Institute's Beyond Exploration 27 program to describe it, sealing the question in an envelope until afterward so that expectations would not color the answers. Seventy-two percent wrote an answer. The Institute's page today says participants may invite physical or emotional healing, release, forgiveness or a stronger life force, at their own choice. What participants report Accounts range widely. One participant wrote in the Hemi-Sync Journal that Focus 27 felt like home and that, when instructions came to return, they reacted with an adamant no way. Taylor met two personalities in Focus 35, nicknamed Heckle and Jekyll, and says that as she descended to ordinary reality they said she would receive a gift: a constantly available doorway into Focus 35. Atwater recalls that when he asked who gave Bob the Hemi-Sync idea, he was told to look it up in Focus 27's library, where the answer had to do with shape. Bringing it back: creativity and daily life
Taylor, who began with the Institute in 1996 and completed Gateway Voyage, Guidelines, Lifeline and Exploration 27, says the Focus 35 connection has enhanced her art and teaching. She had worried about parental disapproval of using Hemi-Sync with her students and says a solution presented itself only after Exploration 27. She notes she has no statistical analysis, only twenty years of teaching experience, but reports a calmer, more productive classroom and higher student creativity.
